poor baby girl

Ok so we had our 2 month appt this afternoon, my baby girl got a total of 3 shots plus the oral drink. One shot in one leg and two in the other. The leg that received one shot is red and a little puffy/swollen. Is there anything I should do for that one? She has been sleeping and then waking crying in pain :-( It's horrible listening to her, I feel so bad.

That's how my twins were last wk- they were ok with just cuddling although I did give them just 1 dose of baby Tylenol about 4 hrs after shots/drink. I think 1.5 ml but check with your dr before giving any. It's hard to see them like this but worth it! :)

My son had his shots this morning same sequence. Ped said that Ben though it will hurt you have to massage the area will the shot was given. Make sure that it is worked out of the fat into their system. If there is a build up it will cause some swelling and puffiness. He also recommended cold washcloth or wrapped up ice to help if it does swell. I just kneed the areas on his thighs every time I change his diaper or clothes. He jerks and whines a little but it seems to be less each time I do it. If its still there in the am call your pediatrician.
